Essentials of Ayurveda Health Workshop

Date:

Sun, 06/30/2013 - 1:00pm to 3:00pm

Sunday, June 30 1-3pm with Jenn Jacobsen, LMT, RM, CYT: Ayurveda is a holistic system of medicine that has been practiced in India for over 5,000 years. Ayurveda sees each person as a unique combination of the 5 elements – ether/space, air, fire, water, and earth. These elements come together in different ways to form different body types, personality traits, and tendencies for specific diseases. In this workshop, we will determine and discuss how to understand your constitution, and how this information can help you to find your unique state of balanced health. We will discuss how to use food as “medicine,” and we will go over basic Ayurvedic terms such as vata, pitta, kapha, agni, ama and guna.
